Training Medical and Healthcare Students to Build Skill and Confidence through Medical Simulator Practice

Medical simulators and clinical skill trainers are used to train medical and healthcare individuals in clinical skills and techniques with a hands-on approach as an extension of their didactic learning. The use of these medical simulators provides students with the opportunity to practice learned skills in a safe, risk-free, no-harm-to-the-patient environment before working on real patients. Skill understanding, dexterity improvement, and hand-eye coordination skills are practiced and improved. As we all learn from mistakes, medical simulation training allows for mistakes and is directed toward improving the safety, effectiveness, and efficacy of medical and healthcare services and interventions.

This experiential learning allows for real-world situations and the incorporation of a variety of scenarios, giving the learner a myriad of experiences to enhance their skills, build their confidence, learn patient interaction skills, and achieve a greater quality of care when working on real patients.
